Echo & The Bunnymen bring '40 Years Of Magical Songs' to North America


Echo And The Bunnymen bring their 40th anniversary tour to North America this summer.

The critically acclaimed 40 Years Of Magical Songs tour mesmerized fans in the UK and now a North American leg has been announced. Fans can expect a career spanning set filled with the brilliant, beloved, and yes - magical songs that made us fall in love with the seminal band.

The legendary Ian McCulloch is psyched to bring this exciting tour to North America:

"I can’t wait for this upcoming tour of America and Toronto. It will be a continuation of the U.K. tour we did in February/March of this year which was my favourite ever tour, and talking to fans and friends after shows and reading loads of brilliant comments from Bunnymen and Bunnywomen, all saying pretty much what I was feeling,…that some new magical ingredient had been added to the starlight and the moonbeams and the angels and the devils that live inside the songs.

I love, and the band love, touring around America at any time but the experiences of special night after special night in the U.K. makes me certain we will take the shows up another level or two in the U.S.A."

See you soon, Mac X

The tour kicks off in Atlanta on August 15th and rolls through St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit on September 9th. Pre-sales kick off tomorrow (Wednesday, May 18th) with the general onsale to follow on Friday, May 20th. Visit Echo And The Bunnymen on the web for more info and view the tour itinerary below.

In the music video for "How High" Tim Burgess sports a yellow and black jacket, which he says he has been asked about for years. As a treat for fans, Burgess thought launching a replica jacket would be a fitting way to commemorate the single's 25th anniversary, The Charlatans teamed up with Hikerdelic to make the magic happen, but the outwear company didn't make the OG version. As Tim Burgess told NME , he doesn't know who made the original 1997 version of the jacket. "It was on a rail of clothes that the stylist brought. I handed it back never even knowing what make it was. Once we’d finished filming the video we were asked if we wanted any of the clothes that had been given to us, I said I’d like the jacket but they said it hadn’t been launched yet but they would definitely send me one. It never a...
